arm64: entry: move el1 irq/nmi logic to C

Browse source

In preparation for reworking the EL1 irq/nmi entry code, move the
existing logic to C. We no longer need the asm_nmi_enter() and
asm_nmi_exit() wrappers, so these are removed. The new C functions are
marked noinstr, which prevents compiler instrumentation and runtime
probing.

In subsequent patches we'll want the new C helpers to be called in all
cases, so we don't bother wrapping the calls with ifdeferry. Even when
the new C functions are stubs the trivial calls are unlikely to have a
measurable impact on the IRQ or NMI paths anyway.

Prototypes are added to <asm/exception.h> as otherwise (in some
configurations) GCC will complain about the lack of a forward
declaration. We already do this for existing function, e.g.
enter_from_user_mode().

The new helpers are marked as noinstr (which prevents all
instrumentation, tracing, and kprobes). Otherwise, there should be no
functional change as a result of this patch.
